Misc Praise Songs – Farther On (Guitar)

C            F
As we travel through the desert

C                  G
Storms beset us by the way,

C               F
But beyond the river Jordan

C               G       C
Lies a field of endless day.

C
Farther on, still go farther;

C                    F       G
Count the milestones one by one.

C              F
Jesus will  forsake you never.

C              G      C
It is better farther on.

C               F
O, my brother,  are you weary

C                      G
Of the roughness of the way?

C                   F
Does your strength begin to fail you,

C               G   C
And your vigor to decay?

C
Farther on, still go farther;

C                    F       G
Count the milestones one by one.

C              F
Jesus will  forsake you never.

It is better farther on.

Jesus, Jesus will go with you.

C                        G
He will  lead you to the throne,

C               F
He who dyed His garments for you,

C                 G     C
And the winepress trod alone.

C
Farther on, still go farther;

C                    F       G
Count the milestones one by one.

At my grave, O, still be singing,

C                              G
Though you weep for one that’s gone.

Sing it as we once did sing it,

It is better farther on.

Jesus will  forsake you never.

It is better farther on.
